Wall cling: Difference between revisions

Various ''Smash'' characters have used wall clinging in their source games. In ''Kirby Super Star'', when [[Kirby]] had the Ninja copy ability, he had the ability to wall cling.  In other games, such as ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', [[Mario]] and [[Samus]] could stick to walls temporarily if they were in the process of wall jumping; however, this would only last for a second or two before they slid downwards. In ''Super Mario Odyssey'', [[Yoshi]] could wall cling after sticking his tongue at a wall surface. However, none of these four characters can wall cling in Smash.

Diddy Kong could situationally wall cling in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', as he could stick to honey-covered walls in {{iw|mariowiki|Hornet Hole}} and he has the same animation in ''[[Brawl]]'' for wall jumping from that game. He can also  cling and crawl on grass-surface walls and ceilings in some of the levels in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', such as {{iw|mariowiki|King of Cling}} and {{iw|mariowiki|Grassland Groove}}. [[Bayonetta]]'s ability to wall cling is likely based on the Witch Walk ability from [[Bayonetta (universe)|her home series]], which allows Umbra Witches to walk on walls in moonlight.
